Safety Precautions
Do not use the product for special purposes, such as preserving foods, works of art, etc. It is a consumer air conditioner, not a precision refrigeration system. There is risk of damage or loss of property. Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not use harsh detergents, solvents or splashing water etc . There is risk of fire, electric shock, or damage to the plastic parts of the product. Always insert the filter securely after cleaning. Clean the filter every two weeks or more often if necessary. A dirty filter reduces the efficiency.

It may cause product failure.

Do not touch the metal parts of the product when removing the air filter. There is risk of personal injury.

Do not step on or put anyting on the product. (outdoor units) There is risk of personal injury and failure of product. Be cautious when unpacking and installing the product. Sharp edges could cause injury.

Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet while the product is operating. There are sharp and moving parts that could cause personal injury. Do not tilt the unit when removing or uninstalling it. The condensed water inside can spill .

If the refrigerant gas leaks during the repair, do not touch the leakaing refrigerant gas. The refrigernat gas can cause frostbite (cold burn) If the refrigerant gas leaks during the installation, ventilate the area immediately. Otherwise it can be harmfull for your health.

Do not mix air or gas other than the specified refrigerant used in the system . If air enters the refrigerant system, an excessively high pressure results, causing equipment damage or injury. Replace the all batteries in the remote control with new ones of the same type. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries. There is risk of fire or product failure.

Dismantling the unit, treatment of the refrigerant oil and eventual parts should be done in accordance with local and national standards.

Do not recharge or disassemble the batteries. Do not dispose off batteries in a fire. They may burn or explode. Do not let the air conditioner run for a long time when the humidity is very high and a door or a window is left open. Moisture may condense and wet or damage furniture. Use a firm stool or ladder when cleaning, maintaining or repairing the product at an height. Be careful and avoid personal injury.

If the liquid from the batteries gets onto your skin or clothes, wash it well with clean water. Do not use the remote if the batteries have leaked. The chemicals in batteries could cause burns or other health hazards. Do not expose your skin or kids or plants to the cool or hot air draft. This could harm to your health.

If you eat the liquid from the batteries, brush your teeth and see doctor. Do not use the remote if the batteries have leaked. The chemicals in batteries could cause burns or other health hazards. Do not drink the water drained from the product. It is not sanitary and could cause serious health issues.

Electrical Safety

Electrical Safety
This appliance must be properly grounded. To minimize the risk of electric shock, you must alway plug into a grounded oulet. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power plug. Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. If you have any doubt whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

Temporary Use of an Adapter

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards. For temporary connections, use only a genuine adapter, available from most local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection. To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.

Temporary Use of an Extension Cord

We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA certified and UL listed 3-wire grounded extension cords, rated 15 A, 125 V.

This appliance should be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. This guide acts as a guide to help to explain product features.

Owner's Manual 17

Maintenance and Service

When the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.
When air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time. When the air conditioner is to be used again.

Operate the air conditioner on Air circulation mode (Refer to page 13) for 2 to 3 hours. This will dry out the internal mechanisms. Turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the power cable.

Clean the air filter and install it in the indoor unit. (Refer to page 16~17 for cleaning filters.)

CAUTION: Turn off the circuit

breaker when the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time. Dirt may collect and may cause a fire.

Check that the air inlet and outlet of the indoor/outdoor unit are not blocked.

Remove the batteries from the Remote Controller.

Operation Tips
Do not overcool the room. Keep blinds or curtains closed. Keep the room temperature uniform.

This is not good for the health and wastes electricity.

Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal airflow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room.

Make sure that the doors and windows are shut tight. Avoid opening doors and windows if possible to keep the cool air in the room.

Clean the air filter regularly.

Ventilate the room occasionally. Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then.

Blockages in the air filter reduce the airflow and lower cooling and dehumidifying effects. Clean at least once every two weeks.

Maintenance and Service

Troubleshooting
Check the following points before requesting repairs or service.... If the fault persists, please contact your dealer or service center.

Case
The air conditioner does not operate. The room has a peculiar odor.

Explanation
Check room temperature setting? Check if circuit breaker is on? Check that this is not a damp smell exuded by the walls, carpet, furniture, or cloth items in the room. Check the drain hose is connected tight or if indoor unit is installed even.

See page
10 -

It seems that condensation is leaking from the air conditioner. Air conditioner does not operate for about 3 minutes after turning on.

This is the protector of the mechanism. Wait about 3 minutes and operation will begin. About 3 minutes delay is applied to protect compressor from frequenty on/off.

Does not cool or heat effectively.

Is the air filter dirty? See air filter cleaning instructions. Has the temperature been set correctly? Are the indoor unit's air inlet or outlet vents obstructed?

16~17 10 -

The air conditioner operation is noisy.

For a noise that sounds like water flowing. -This is the sound of refrigerant flowing inside the air conditioner unit. For a noise that sounds like the compressed air releasing into atmosphere. -This is the sound of the dehumidifying water being processed inside the air conditioning unit. Are the batteries depleted? Are the batteries inserted in the opposite (+) and (-) directions? This sound is generated by the expansion/constriction of the front panel, etc. due to changes of temperature.

Remote Controller display is faint, or no display at all.

Crack sound is heard.
